This reading journal is a PDF that's easily useful to track reading digitally with review pages tacking and customization. It is designed in a simple and effective manner where the functionality is easy to organize, track and reflect upon the journal spreads.

I used this briefly, but whilst I did use it I found it to be quite useful in documenting the books I was reading. I also really enjoyed the layout of each page, and getting to put in each little bit of the book I was reading.

Great free journal. I Ioved the space provided for the book review. I think if they added links from your shelf to the actual book review would be great so you can go to the specific book review without scrolling so much.

An excellent way to record your reading. I am yet to work out how to add stickers and the book title images, maybe because I’m on a tablet. An excellent resource though for NetGalley reading.

i was very excited by the prospect of this, however upon first trying to use it i couldn’t figure it out. i didn’t go back and try and then did not get a chance to figure out how to use this last year. will review the 2025 journal instead which i am going to really give a good go at. giving 3 stars as i didn’t get to use it but it was my own fault for not putting the time in to figure it out.

The idea of making this Reading Journal available was absolutely brilliant!
It’s going to be a huge help for organizing my reading life and tracking my progress in a much clearer way.
The design and color choices are beautiful, and the sections are really well laid out.
There’s space to get creative, but also plenty of structure for serious organization.
You can tell this was made with care and a true understanding of its audience — readers.

With ADHD a journal or notebook of any kind is hard to stick to, but this digital option is easy to use and one that I continue to go back to.

This reading journal is absolutely beautiful! The Original Palette design is both calming and vibrant, making it a joy to open and use. I love how thoughtfully it's laid out—plenty of space to jot down reviews, track reading goals, and reflect on what I’m reading throughout the year.

The prompts are engaging without being overwhelming, and I really appreciate the balance of structure and flexibility. It feels like it was made for readers, by readers. I can already tell this is going to be a regular part of my reading routine.

Highly recommend to fellow book lovers who want to be more intentional with their reading life!

Annoying that I have to review this to get it off my shelf. I don't see the point of reviewing this.

Digital journaling is new to me and I am grateful to Netgalley for providing me with such an accessible, fun way to track my annual reading journey. I love all the fun categories and tracking that I will be able to do especilly because it is easy to use and the pages end up being really pretty and enjoyable to look at. The stickers and covers are a perfect addition. I am looking forward to learning more and hopefully getting better at using this as time goes on. Thank you for all the terrifically bookish pages!

I love this NetGalley Reading Journal! I really like how I can add pages and stickers to it to make it more interactive. I use it on my iPad, and I have been enjoying it so far! I was also pleased to see that NetGalley offered their reading journal in two different colour settings! I am so happy that they also offered free stickers to personalize your journal. The journal contains all essential elements of a book journal, including tabs for monthly entries. check-ins, a TBR shelf, activities (such as a habit tracker or reading books whose titles begin with each letter of the alphabet), a wrap-up of your top books of the month and a bracket to find your favourite read of the year!

I found the NetGalley reading journal template a clear and practical tool for tracking ARC requests and reading progress. The columns cover everything I need: request date, receipt status, read date, rating, quick thoughts, and whether I’ve posted a review, so I never lose track of a title. It’s flexible enough to add extra details like genre or word count, and it keeps me organized without feeling overwhelming. Overall, it’s a handy system that has helped me stay on top of my NetGalley queue.
